The 36th annual Adirondack Canoe Classic took place on three consecutive days and began on Friday, Sept. 7. The Ironman 70.3 was held on Sunday for the second straight September in and around the Olympic Village of Lake Placid.

The Adirondack Canoe Classic, also known as the 90-Miler, featured approximately 250 canoes, kayaks and guideboats propeled by a field of around 600 paddlers. The race began in Old Forge and wrapped up Sunday at the state boat launch on Lake Flower in Saranac Lake.

Meanwhile, Lake Placid’s half-Ironman distance triathlon took place Sunday. It kicked off with a 1.2-mile swim in Mirror Lake, which was followed by a 56-mile bike ride and a 13.1-mile run. The event again drew a huge field as more than 2,300 triathletes began the race.

And when it came to the weather, conditions couldn’t have been much better for both events.
